Narrated Qabisah: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Augury from the flight of birds, taking evil omens and the practice of pressomancy pertain to divination. Tarq: It is used in the sense of divination in which women threw stones. 'Iyafah: It means geomancy by drawing lines.

Narrated Muhammed bin Jafar: On the authority of Awf: 'Iyafah means to makes the birds fly by threatening them. Tarq means lines drawn on the earth.

Narrated Muawiyah bin al-Hakam al-Sulami: I said: Messenger of Allah! among us there are men who practice divination by drawing lines. He said: There was a Prophet who drew lines, so if anyone does it as he drew lines, that is right.
